[GABAergic modulation of amnesic trace reproduction by activation of the dopaminergic system]
[Article in Russian]
Dubrovina NI, Parkhomenko RI, Il'iuchenok RIu.
Features of amnesia trace reactivation by activation of different links of dopaminergic system synaptic apparatus following the change of benzodiazepine, GABAA and GABAB receptors activity are found in experiments in mice. Diazepam pretreatment increases bupropion effectiveness, prolongs duration of enhanced passive avoidance response retrieval during D-1 and D-2 receptors activation by (+)3-PPP and decreases both characteristics under selective D-2 receptor activation by quinpirole. Activation of GABAA and GABAB receptors induces the attenuation of quinpirole effect and the duration of (+)3-PPP action.

Imipramine as a discriminative stimulus.

The tricyclic antidepressant imipramine was established as a discriminative stimulus in pigeons at two doses (3.0 or 5.6 mg/kg). Because imipramine has multiple effects on different neurotransmitter systems, a range of compounds from several pharmacological classes were tested for substitution. The tricyclic antidepressants desipramine, amitriptyline and doxepin, all of which block serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) reuptake, resulted in imipramine-key responding. The psychomotor stimulants cocaine and d-amphetamine also occasioned responding on the imipramine key, as did the NE reuptake inhibitor tomoxetine; nomifensine, which blocks the reuptake of both NE and dopamine (DA), also resulted in responding on the key correlated with imipramine injections. Bupropion, a DA reuptake inhibitor, resulted in drug key responding but substitution did not occur with another DA uptake inhibitor GBR 12909. The alpha-2 agonist clonidine, the 5-HT2 antagonist ritanserin or the 5-HT reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine also did not occasion drug-key responding. Drug-appropriate responding occurred in pigeons trained at the lower dose of imipramine with the 5-HT1A compounds 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin hydrobromide and gepirone; partial substitution occurred in pigeons trained with the higher dose of imipramine. Substitution for the imipramine stimulus by gepirone, an antidepressant with actions mediated by the 5-HT1A receptor, as well as with 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin hydrobromide, suggests that imipramine may have effects at this receptor site and confirms reports that compounds active at this receptor may have antidepressant activity. This appears to be the first report of the successful, long-term establishment of imipramine as a discriminative stimulus without the development of toxicity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Assessment of the discriminative stimulus effects of cocaine in the rat: lack of interaction with opioids.

The present study examined the effects of several opioid agonists and antagonists in rats trained to discriminate cocaine (10 mg/kg) from saline in a two-lever, food-reinforced, discrimination task. Neither fentanyl, a mu agonist, nor the delta agonist BW 373U86 elicited cocaine-appropriate responding. Although pretreatment with fentanyl failed to alter the discriminative stimulus effects of low doses of cocaine, cocaine reversed the rate-suppressant effects of fentanyl. Although the kappa agonist U50,488H decreased response rates, it did not substitute for cocaine. Injection of U50,488H in combination with the training dose of cocaine (10 mg/kg) reversed the rate-suppressant effects of U50,488H but failed to affect the cocaine cue. Administration of U50,488H (3 mg/kg), in conjunction with several doses of cocaine, did not shift the cocaine dose-response curve. Naltrindole and naltrexone, delta and mu antagonists respectively, did not block the effects of cocaine. Further, naltrindole did not substitute for the cocaine cue. Complete generalization was observed to the dopamine uptake inhibitor bupropion (30 mg/kg). These results suggest that fentanyl and U50,488H, at doses that purportedly influence mesolimbic dopamine levels, do not alter the discriminative stimulus effects of cocaine. Moreover, activation of delta receptors and blockade of mu and delta receptors are similarly ineffective.
